Tae pov

I asked counselor nim for strawberries this week. Jin asked for chocolates. While Namjoon was reading in his room and Hoseok was doing whatever a wild Hoseok does, we decided to have a date. We tried for dates often.

Melting the chocolate and precutting the tops of the fruit. After that quickly running to my room to hide away. Laughing and chatting behind a closed door. Because we both know that being behind this door is the only way we can be happy.

Dipping a strawberry and spinning it to make it stop dripping, jin leaned in a bit and pressed it to my lips. I ate it and gladly licked the excess chocolate off his pointer finger. He rolled his eyes at my attempt to be sexy. Pulling his finger back and grabbing a strawberry for himself.

"I think we've established that we get along great, but I want to know more about you. What you like- dislike. I want to know you the best I can" he admitted before popping the fruit into his mouth. "So where you originally from?"

"Daegu- although, not your usual city kid from daegu. I'm just a farmers son"

Jin sighed then. A bit of a frown tugging at his lips. In my mind this could only mean one thing. We're miles and miles apart.

"I'm from gwacheon" he finally said.

"I see. So we're pretty far apart then." I couldn't help but slump over a bit.

It was silent. We both didn't have it in us to do anything for minutes. Then Jin corrected his posture and gasped. Reassuringly shook his head and smiled.

"I'll be going to Daegu to study healthcare next fall though! As long as I can still graduate on time, we'll see each other often then."

Relief shot through me. I know he's not mine to have and hold, but at least he wont be completely out of reach when it comes to it.

"I'll be a junior then." I smiled. "I want to be a photographer, so I'm not sure where I'll go two years later though"

"Thats cute. Lets not worry as long as you do what makes you happy, ok?" He shot me a warm smile and patted my shoulder.

This feeling. It was heavy and more than I was able to hold. Still, I tried to carry it and never let it go. Over all it was a comforting feeling and I don't care how much heavier it gets, i'll never let go.

"Jin-" I paused. "When we get out of here, do you promise to at least be a close friend to me if nothing else?"

Losing him would be the worst.

"yes, of course."

I smiled. Leaning in a planting a quick peck on his red stained lips. Letting my happiness take over for only a moment.

"so, what is your favorite movie of all time? We watch so many together, but I think it would be nice to actually know what you like"

"about time, you?"

Jin freshly coated a strawberry in chocolate. And just before reaching his mouth, I yanked his arm toward me and ate it. Smiling at him and clapping my hands as I watched his face fall.

"l like the matrix." He then answered bitterly. Pouting his lip some and crossing his arms like a child.

It was all playful. I know that. I like that about him. It keeps me interested, I find his playful nature amusing.

"Oh i like that one too!" I cheered as I coated a strawberry.

Extending my arm out for him to take it, he leaned forward and took it by his teeth. Shooting me a funny smile before letting it drop into his mouth.

"lets watch about time together some time since I havent seen it"

"Of course"

It was when he says things like that, that I got lost in the thought of us being in a real relationship. All the times he says 'we', 'us', 'together', 'what do you want?', and 'lets'. Things that brought us close. Bonding us to be almost one. It made me feel like I was his only one. Like I was the one entitled to his heart.

When I snapped out of thought I saw him cluelessly eating strawberries. Not minding our silence for even a second. Not minding the way I looked at him. He was comfortable with me. I felt that way with him. Is i possible to love him? I feel like I may.

His eyes slowly met mine and he'd finished chewing his food. The corners of his lips moved upward. Not in a smile, but giving off a look of over all contentment. I stared into his eyes that instantly took me in. Making me feel warm and cozy. Making me want to be the only one he sees. Making me want to hog this feeling.

Soon enough, we were leaning in. Our eyes fluttering shut and our lips so close. Yet, the door opened. Pulling back instantly and our heads snapping in the direction of the door, we were met with Jimin.

"Tae-Tae, i'm sad. Will you hang out with me?" the boy asked with a clear frown on his face.

No doubt because he couldn't resolve things with Jungkook. For days Jungkook's only left his room when he absolutely needed to. For days jimin's done the same.

"Oh, yeah. Sure. Um. I'll see you later Jin hyung, ok? Hope your um... constipation goes away, chocolates supposed to help so enjoy the rest of that " I tried my best to cover it.

I made my way to the door. Watching Jin's cheeks heat up to a deep red. Watching Jimin smile sweetly. Feeling the awkward tension build.

"Aw i hope you can poop again soon!" Jimin wish him the best before walking as quickly across the hall as he could. Definitely to hide away again.

"Yah! Why would you embarrass me like that? First you're ditching me on our date, then you made perfect little Jimin think I have constipation! I'm ashamed" Jin whisper yelled.

The jealousy in his voice when he called Jimin perfect was what had mainly caught my attention. It made me grin.

"Sounds like you're more so just jealous than ashamed"
